For any prime number p, let J(p) be the set of positive integers n such that the numerator of the n^th harmonic number in the lowest terms is divisible by this prime number p. We consider an extension of this set to the generalized harmonic numbers, which are a natural extension of the harmonic numbers. Then, we present an upper bound for the number of elements in this set. Moreover, we state an explicit condition to show the finiteness of our set, together with relations to Bernoulli and Euler numbers.

Throughout this paper $Z^p, Q_p$ and C_p$ will denote the ring of p-adic rational integers, the field of p-adic rational numbers and the completion of the algebraic closure of $Q_p$, respectively. Let $v_p$ be the normalized exponential valuation of $C_p$ with $$\mid$p$\mid$_p = p^{-v_p (p)} = p^{-1}$. We set $p^* = p$ for any prime p > 2 $p^* = 4 for p = 2$.

In this paper, we introduce the concept of derivative of the function f : $\mathbb{Q}p{\to} R$ where $\mathbb{Q}p$ is the field of the p-adic numbers and R is the set of real numbers. And some basic theorems on derivatives are given.

On the framework of the 2-adic group $\mathcal{Z}_2$, we study a Sobolev-like inequality where we estimate the $L^2$ norm by a geometric mean of the BV norm and the $\dot{B}_{\infty}^{-1,{\infty}}$ norm. We first show, using the special topological properties of the $p$-adic groups, that the set of functions of bounded variations BV can be identified to the Besov space ˙$\dot{B}_1^{1,{\infty}}$. This identification lead us to the construction of a counterexample to the improved Sobolev inequality.

In this paper we construct a homeomorphism on a Cantor set which is nearly periodic such that h(a) = b for given a, b $\in$ D$_{p}$. We also give an example which is not almost periodic and we discuss when a homeomorphism on a Cantor set is periodic.c.

Let h : M ${\rightarrow}$ M be an almost periodic homeomorphism of a compact metric space M onto itself. We prove that h is topologically transitive iff every element of M has a dense orbit. It follows as a corollary that an almost periodic homeomorphism of a compact metric space onto itself can not be chaotic. Some additional related observations on a Cantor set are made.

Let H_n be the n-th harmonic number and let ν_n be its denominator. Shiu proved that there are infinitely many positive integers n with ν_n = ν_n+1. Recently, Wu and Chen proved that the set of positive integers n with ν_n = ν_n+1 has density one. They also proved that the same result is true for the denominators of alternating harmonic numbers. In this paper, we prove that the result is true for the denominators of 𝜀-harmonic numbers, where 𝜀 = {𝜀_i}^∞_i=1 is a pure recurring sequence with 𝜀_i ∈ {-1, 1}.
